The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 23, 10:14 PM CDT, 8 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Shreveport LA
1014 PM CDT Fri Apr 23 2021
.UPDATE...
Despite ongoing convection across nearly all of the region, the
severe weather threat has diminished overall with a Tornado Watch
only in effect for Grant and La Salle Parish in our far SE CWA.
This Watch will likely be cancelled early based on current radar
trends. Looking upstream toward the Middle Red River Valley of
Northern Texas and Southern Oklahoma, we continue to watch a line
of strong to severe thunderstorms with additional an cluster of
storms out ahead of it advancing toward our region over the next
several hours. Should they maintain current strength, we could be
in store for another round of strong to possibly severe convection
through the remainder of the overnight hours across our northern
zones as this line accelerates SE with a primary damaging wind
threat through the remainder of tonight.
For the update this evening, did maintain severe wording areawide
for the reasons mentioned above although the overall severe threat
has decreased. In addition, heavy rainfall will remain a threat as
well so have kept the current Flash Flood Watch intact for our far
southern zones through 7 AM Saturday morning. Winds will also stay
elevated so the Lake Wind Advisory also continues through 7 AM for
the entire region. Otherwise, minor adjustments were made to some
of the grids to account for ongoing trends this evening and during
the remainder of the overnight hours. All updated text products
have been issued.
/19/
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 755 PM CDT Fri Apr 23 2021/
AVIATION...
For the 24/00Z TAF period, widespread convection will be ongoing
through the first half of this period with mostly IFR/LIFR cigs
and vsbys during the overnight and early morning hours Saturday.
Slow but gradual improvement in cigs is expected through the
latter half of the period with MVFR/low VFR conditions returning
at all sites by mid to late Saturday morning through the afternoon
hours with convection exiting the region. Strong S/SE winds will
veer W/NW with the cold frontal passage through the morning and
early afternoon on Saturday. Wind speeds will generally range from
10-20 kts with gusts near 30 kts or higher, especially in areas of
convection and then again with post-frontal NW winds on Saturday.
/19/
PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 321 PM CDT Fri Apr 23 2021/
SHORT TERM.../Tonight through Saturday night/
For the rest of this afternoon and tonight...We are starting to
see a large area of showers and thunderstorms develop to the west
and southwest of the forecast area with a few showers and
thunderstorms starting to move into our northeast Texas counties.
Destabilization will continue over the next few hours and
thunderstorms will begin to increase in coverage and intensity
across the area. Severe thunderstorms will be possible this
afternoon and into the overnight hours with large hail, damaging
winds and a few tornadoes possible. In addition, areas of moderate
to heavy rain will bring a flash flooding threat to portions of
the area. As such, a Tornado Watch is in effect for portions of
deep east Texas and central Louisiana through 9:00 PM CDT. We have
also introduced a Flash Flood Watch for portions of this same area
through 7:00 AM CDT Saturday morning. Additionally, winds are
expected to increase as the surface low moves into the area, as
such have issued an area wide Lake Wind Advisory through 7:00 AM
CDT Saturday for southeast winds of 15-20 mph and gusts around 30
mph possible.
Heading into the overnight hours, showers and thunderstorms will
continue across the region through early Saturday morning before
clearing generally from west to east as a cold front pushes
through the area. Dry conditions will settle in behind the front,
with afternoon temperatures on Saturday reaching the lower 70s to
lower 80s from north to south. Saturday night temperatures will
range from the upper 40s to mid 50s across the area. /33/
LONG TERM.../Sunday through Thursday Night/
Pleasant spring weather will bring a nice finish to the weekend
Sunday, as lingering sfc high pressure and wnwly flow aloft ahead of
an upper ridge axis characterize the weather pattern. Upper ridge
axis to transition ovhd and ewd Monday, with swly flow aloft and sly
flow at the sfc returning by Monday night. Increasing cloud cover
and low level moisture will set up across our region ahead of a deep
upper trof axis on approach from the w. Inconsistencies in models
with respect to the timing of this trof and its impacts on our area
continue this pd. The GFS remains the most progressive, developing
strong convection to our w along a cold front late Tuesday night
into early Wednesday. The Euro and Canadian solutions continue to be
slower. Although specific details are still very much out of focus,
a severe weather threat certainly does appear possible, as ample low
level moisture, instability, and deep layer shear are likely to be
in place. As for PoPs, have continued to stay close to NBM numbers
with a slight bias downward to leave room for the high levels of
uncertainty with regard to the timing of this convection.
Depending upon how the timing works out, our region could be
completely clear of convection with nwly flow aloft and high
pressure building at the sfc by Thursday night. However, if the very
slow Canadian works out, we may still have convection lingering
through Thursday night. /12/
